9. Waitin' For You - This is my tribute to the great Rufus Thomas.
Why, you ask. Well many years ago in the sixties I used to sing a Rufus Thomas
song called Walkin' The Dog and when I did it it kinda tickled my cousin Judy.
But I didn't know until many years later and so I decided to write this one
which I dedicate to my cousin Judy. As a matter of fact when I wanted to learn
Walkin' The Dog all those years ago I can remember quite clearly that Judy and
I sat with pencil and paper next to the old record player trying to hear the
words and write 'em down. Incidentally it was Judy who taught me to jive but
back in those days we called it bopping and then she used to take me to Wakefield
Mecca so she'd have somebody to dance with in case there was no one else - funny
things that stick with you isn't it.
